FANS of ’60s kitsch, take note. An unpublished novel featuring Matt Helm, the bed-hopping secret agent played by Dean Martin in movies like “The Silencers” and “The Wrecking Crew,” has been found. “The Dominators” came to light following the recent death of author Donald Hamilton, who penned 27 Helm novels, which sold 20 million-plus copies worldwide. “We’d love to acquire it. We’d be eager to publish it,” Charles Ardai, editor of Hard Case Crime which reprints classic thrillers in paperback, told us. He’s been in talks with Hamilton’s son, Donald.
